:?: How do I find out if a certain topic is covered in the Forum, other than by scrolling through all past posting titles? It would be great to have a search function in the Forum, to be able to look up specific topics/subjects/brands/etc.

Perhaps a technical question as opposed to "improvement" .. I tried to post an image that is 220kb. Too big of course. I downloaded a clunky program to reduce the size, it's still to big after reducing 50% and converting from a .jpeg to .gif (which I thought was a smaller format). Anything lower then that and it's not worth posting as the resolution sucks.

Anyway, IMO ww's could improve for me if you allowed larger image sizes.

Or.. please give me a good suggestion as to how to retain good resolution without reducing the size of the image to not much begger then a thumbnail.

Its a great site...use it every day...also have supported GypzyBike....and like may others suggest a breakout of items into Road, Mtb, etc. like others its very importand for me as a user to really know if the item is suitable for my interests in Mtb....I realize some items may apply to both or all bikes...so include a value of 'all' for those items...then allow users to filter our/in Road/Mtb etc.

In addition, I have found many items out dated....out of production or the manufacturer out-of-business....so a general cleanup is warranted...I know any updates I have found I have shared Back to WW.

Now the big one....you are sitting on a gold mine....this information is NOT available elsewhere....publish it with suitable categories (Mtb/Road etc) and eliminate old items....then distribute to bike magazines throughout the world as an insert. Years ago, 1999 MountainBike Action had a section on light weight parts (Mtb)....it was soooooooooooo fantastic I still refer to it...yet they have never updated that info....so add some advertising of your own....or get the manufactures in your listing to kick-in some $$....they will get the exposure....WW will grow...and GypzyBike business will grow....win............win...........

As I have researched various items from WW's...found either that product or its manufacturer have problems....breakage...no longer made...out-of production...out-of-business etc...it would be meaningful to your users if this info could be captured and available...obviously with a disclaimer on WW's. Examples might include the Fly-Sports Propeller crankset, or Goldtec cassette, Morati Ti cranks, SPD cranks, or AMP no longer made etc.

Your links are great!!

I'm not sure if this belongs here or if I need to open a new thread for this, but I'll try it anyway

I was wondering if it's possible to improve the search option a bit so that you can find certain words in a topic a bit faster? I think it's great that the search words get extra visible by turning orange, but when a thread has a lot of pages it can take a while to find the page that the subject you are looking for is in. No idea if this is a quick fix or if it's possible at all, but maybe it's possible to somehow make it visible on which pages of a thread the searchwords are just to make the searching go faster.

If what I'm looking for is already possible please let me know, I remember this was the case for the last suggestion I made

See the last number in the url. That is page 4. Page 1 is 0, 2 is 15, 3, is 30, 4 is 45 and so on. So just think of the page you want, subtract 1 from that number and multiply the result by 15. If you want page 13, subtract 1=12, multiply that by 15 and put that into your url in place of the last number.

I'm not sure wether this has been mentioned before: but what about a section for all off-topic chat? There's been a lot of that going on lately, and it's pretty much always posted in the "Road" section. In the "WW Café" or something one could also discuss the latest Olympics developments for instance, always interesting, and a lot of carbon fiber there as well
